Mal Benning was the only Indian player I've met, sat next to his family at the league 2 playoff final (which he scored in, and we won, Port Vale) and they all went mental and I got a kiss off one of his cousins they were that excited lol.
Thank you to whoever puts this together from Gary, Alan and Micah to all the faces behind the scenes we don't see. I always look forward to the podcast.
You know for a fact the Gary noticed the sticker on Micah's jumper when they started filming, but chose to tell him right at the end just to stitch him up 🤣🤣🤣love the pod guys, keep em coming!!
I’m a kiwi, die hard rugby fan but I stumbled across this podcast a month ago and have now started to catch anything football related. Love these blokes!
@@kylecampbell1532 I’ve come across a few! Roy is hilarious. I watch the overlap, stick to football and just the highlights of the CBS show with Micah, Henry and Jamie. They're all a great watch! It's influenced me to learn more about football!
So glad Gary mentioned the size tag on micah's jumper. It done my head in from the start. Quality episode again, keep up the good work with the pod guys
My experience with Indian parents and children is similar to Micah's. Most of all they want their children to be succesful, and the idea of a career in football is seen as too much of a long shot to even pursue
To be successful in football you need to have supportive parents and be tactically knowledgeable. I don't see many Indians watching bundesliga serie A la liga etc etc which the best players did growing up
regarding that question about countries' footballing strength, corruption is also a big part of it, whether that's at the federation level or the grassroots level. people siphoning money away from the places where the money should be spent and putting it in their own pockets prevents the infrastructure from developing properly, and corruption is unfortunately quite deep-rooted in indian society (as it is in many other developing countries)
Spurs have just signed a link up with development team/squad in India - no idea of first team to do it but I’d imagine that’s what will help growth their is clubs and shoe companies investing money in training and bringing over the best players to train in Europe
These players would be trying to get Sir Alex sacked for being to "hard" on them. Soft ass players man. Can't take criticism even when it's more than deserved. The talent is there and everybody knows it (in most areas), but they just don't have the attitude or work ethic to turn around the club. It's sad really. Can't even be hard on players now without getting a negative reaction from media and everybody else.
I genuinely don’t rate ten hag and I honestly don’t think he’s the one to take United to the next level if I’m honest, that being said, it seems it’s either the glazers or the manager that gets the blame before any player gets the blame. How many of them players were there forcing ole, rangnick, mourinho, van gaal etc. managers have come on gone but the spine of it is really the players who have stayed over years at a Top level club and simply are not good enough but believe they are
As a Sheff Utd fan Hecky did a good job overall and yes the poundland prince has cleared the clubs debts and setup to got straight back down with only spending £35mish this season but its the performances that is Unacceptable !! To the fans hopefully Wilder with put some fire in the bellies and fight .
Shame on you alan shearer, your bias is showing. 9/10 PL games went above the MINIMUM allotted extra time but when Arsenal score you make a fuss. Grow up
Utd clearly have a player power issue, but at the same time the best managers would be able to whip them into better shape than they're in right now... even with arrogant players. ETH escapes criticism from Utd fans, but there's so little evidence he's a top class manager.
He's clearly lost them on the thing with Sancho, which is 100% his fault and shows how he's very limited as a manager. The problem with United fans is that after 20+ years of despotic rule by a tyrannical bastard they don't understand that a harsh uncaring disciplinarian style of management is totally unviable in the modern game.
@@safebans1369 I don’t think he’s 100% at fault with Sancho. He gave him 3 months paid leave last year to sort his head out, and hasn’t been repaid for that in any way
Theres 2 issues with india and top quality football 1. India not allowing dual nationals. There are many players in English academies with indian origins who could represent india but since india doesnt allow dual nationals, they cannot represent india unless they revole their british passport 2. India is ranked in the lower end of teams and uefa/fa doesnt allow players from lower ranked countries to play in european teams
India does not allow players that plays outside of India to play for their national side, or it’s something like that, it maybe if someone holds duel nationality? But the amount of people that could have played for India that couldn’t is quite staggering Until they remove such restrictions, I think they’ll always be held back
Really? Last time when India was beaten by Malaysia in a match, India's coach complained that Malaysia had many heritages & naturalised player. Malaysia's coach replied don't cry baby, India can do it also. Its allow under FIFA.
Micah's story about the books is very relatable! I remember going to the Isle of White for a football tournament aged 16, and coming back to find out my Mum had 'sorted out' my book shelf above the bed. Why she felt any need to rearrange or tidy it I'll never know, but I still think about whether she saw a certain magazine tucked into my 'Greek Mythology' book. What made it worse was the material was very hardcore milf stuff.
Hmm Micah...you should try watching the No Tippy Tappy Football pod with Hughes just released where he said Khaldoon had a few attempts trying to sack him
gary... i have a question for you. did you ever get into any handbags/scuffles with anybody on the pitch? as you never once got booked and have always come across as a super nice guy, i would imagine it was unlikely! but i would love to know... any experiences?
Question for you guys. So we have Gary & Alan both in EA FC 24 (FIFA) as icons... My question is will we be seeing a Micah Richards Icon/Hero at some point? 😅
Micha is so loud if I hung around with him, I would love to see him pissed it would be funny, he drives me mad but I do love watching him and that bloody laugh lol, Gary is a steady guy on the show his years of presenting stands him in good stead proper pundit along with both of the guys, Alan can be a funny bugger and he swears a bit which also makes me laugh, keep it going guys I subscribed ages ago love the show
Ten Hag is in a catch 22. Players making things public in his stead. Look at Ronni going and talking to Pearce fucking Morgan and Sancho throwing his toys out the pram. Whole squad needs sorting out.
India has a similar competition in cricket i.e. (Indian premier league) which offers a great platform to build sports as a career...Other sports have suffered investment deficit.
Always love to hear when big Meeks has been lording it up, haha lording it up at 18 round Chapeltown .. Mancini helped turn City into the winning machine they are today, would like to see him managing in the premier League again , shows what class the man has when he was sacked and he took out the double page spread to thank Man city & the fans for been able to manage the fantastic club and live in the area in the Manchester Evening news, the fans replicated and did the same for Roberto in an Italian paper.
Mourhino and pep to a lesser extent have criticised their players publicly in the past. Jose does it so often. It seems like a very high risk strategy.
Loving the podcast guys! With all the rumours about Manchester United players downing tools and having a toxic dressing room over a number of years wouldnt bringing back the old school YTS and apprenticeship days on £80 a week ground todays young players and hopefully stamp out the bad behaviour and teach them a little bit of respect?
Its not ten haggs fault Marcus rashford wont track a runner. Man United was almost famous for their manager being given reigns to get rid of problem players. They now need rid of 8 or 9 players and the manager
Hello everyone, hope your good! Im doing a work for uni about the impact of social media on sports so my question to you guys is: How did you guys started this online carrer and what are some pros and cons of social media to clubs,players and even ex-players like yourselfs?
Micha still got the shop size sticker stuck to his top 😂😂😂
Micah wears an XL 😂
I was just going to say that haha
Box fresh 🤣
When your so rich you just stick a fresh one on and get rid of the old😂BIG MEEKS
Or so poor you need to return it once you're done with it
Mal Benning was the only Indian player I've met, sat next to his family at the league 2 playoff final (which he scored in, and we won, Port Vale) and they all went mental and I got a kiss off one of his cousins they were that excited lol.
No way Doku is far more dangerous than Grealish . Doku is a game changer
Just if anyone's interested, that £21 p/w in 1976 would be worth £135.23 now, or £540.92 p/m.
Good money for a 16-year-old!
Didn't expect the black booty story 😂😂😂😂
Miami has that effect😂🤣
I was crying
Thank you to whoever puts this together from Gary, Alan and Micah to all the faces behind the scenes we don't see. I always look forward to the podcast.
Totally agree. Big shout out to the lesser seen Fiat. You're numero uno 🚙
It really shows Micah is a pretty good pundit and not just all jokes and vibes
Usually I agree but the questions weren’t in sync this time round
You know for a fact the Gary noticed the sticker on Micah's jumper when they started filming, but chose to tell him right at the end just to stitch him up 🤣🤣🤣love the pod guys, keep em coming!!
I’m a kiwi, die hard rugby fan but I stumbled across this podcast a month ago and have now started to catch anything football related. Love these blokes!
You should check out some videos where Micah is with Roy Keane. They're fun to watch
@@kylecampbell1532 I’ve come across a few! Roy is hilarious. I watch the overlap, stick to football and just the highlights of the CBS show with Micah, Henry and Jamie.
They're all a great watch! It's influenced me to learn more about football!
So glad Gary mentioned the size tag on micah's jumper. It done my head in from the start. Quality episode again, keep up the good work with the pod guys
Love how Micah talks like he was prime Cafu staring people down and growling going in for headers 😂 legend
I love the uncle/nephew energy between Gary and Micah.
They're not related
“Don’t think it’ll make the pod”…it made the pre-pod Micah!! 😂😂
Full respect to Micah, always happy to take the piss out of himself.
Micah is always starting his sentences like he’s about to say something profound..
watching these podcasts shows how the BBC and other broadcasters sanitise the personalities of their presenters.
another hilarious especially Micah last bit with the price tag and informative video. Great job you two
Great podcast as always, did chuckle though Micah when you inadvertently said "I've got a few managers sacked in my time". 😂
😆😆 I thought the same
Erm Micah, you still have the sticker on the front of your top, we can actually see its an XL lol big meeks filling that top!
My experience with Indian parents and children is similar to Micah's. Most of all they want their children to be succesful, and the idea of a career in football is seen as too much of a long shot to even pursue
To be successful in football you need to have supportive parents and be tactically knowledgeable.
I don't see many Indians watching bundesliga serie A la liga etc etc which the best players did growing up
I've always wondered why micah does that weird growling voice randomly
Big Meeks for Prime Minister! I mean it can't get any worse, at least PMQs would be a laugh!
Gary's face when Micah's building up to the growl is priceless
Micha is an XL, probs has a wardrobe full of new kit
Returning that top Micah? Keeping label on just in case? 😅
Hahahaha black booty!! What a story!! Love ya Micah!!
Micha is my favourite person on tv by far just quality always happy cheers me up
Micah put the top on straight out of the store lmao
Oh yeaaa 😂😂. Why did it take this comment for me to realise. I half thought it was a off white Nike jumper or something 😂
I can't not notice it now.
2:00 Micah: I've got a few managers sacked in my days 🤣
Micah was going to return the shirt after the show. You just messed it up for him Gary!!!!!😂😂😂😂
regarding that question about countries' footballing strength, corruption is also a big part of it, whether that's at the federation level or the grassroots level. people siphoning money away from the places where the money should be spent and putting it in their own pockets prevents the infrastructure from developing properly, and corruption is unfortunately quite deep-rooted in indian society (as it is in many other developing countries)
Poor Micah, getting called out at the table for his DVDs! 🤣
Spurs have just signed a link up with development team/squad in India - no idea of first team to do it but I’d imagine that’s what will help growth their is clubs and shoe companies investing money in training and bringing over the best players to train in Europe
Hahahahah so glad that Gary pointed out the sticker on Micah’s jumper 😂😂😂😂

The real reason Alan didn't join is he was still too upset about Arsenal's last minute winner against Luton 🤭 not a fan of the refs all of a sudden
I think Micah is talking about the talk sports ones . And their type of punditry.
Big Meeks so fresh he keeps the XL label on his jumper for pods hahahaha

Love this podcast love Gary micha and shearer. Micha makes me laugh so much 😂keep up the amazing work guys
Love this, guys. Thank you and keep up the great work.
Shame on you alan shearer, your bias is showing. 9/10 PL games went above the MINIMUM allotted extra time but when Arsenal score you make a fuss. Grow up
A blow by blow account of what's happening up front 😂
Utd clearly have a player power issue, but at the same time the best managers would be able to whip them into better shape than they're in right now... even with arrogant players. ETH escapes criticism from Utd fans, but there's so little evidence he's a top class manager.
Go in to settings Power button options and change it to take pictures
Do you rate De zerbi or xabi alonso as coaches/managers?
He's clearly lost them on the thing with Sancho, which is 100% his fault and shows how he's very limited as a manager. The problem with United fans is that after 20+ years of despotic rule by a tyrannical bastard they don't understand that a harsh uncaring disciplinarian style of management is totally unviable in the modern game.

@safebans1369 You don't know he is limited as a manager, because your not at the club day in day out. You Think he is limited.
Micah is 👑
I’m finding it funny that Micah has seemed to forget to remove the clothes label before wearing it while on the pod 😂😂😂
Theres 2 issues with india and top quality football
1. India not allowing dual nationals. There are many players in English academies with indian origins who could represent india but since india doesnt allow dual nationals, they cannot represent india unless they revole their british passport
2. India is ranked in the lower end of teams and uefa/fa doesnt allow players from lower ranked countries to play in european teams
Black booty by big meeks!!! 🤣🤣🤣 lovely pod as usual guys!
"We had so many great players: Kolo Toure, Lescott, Bellamy" none of them were great😂
Jesus, this is one of the funniest podcasts! Thank you gents for everything!
Big Meeks, as one Yorkshireman to another, check your clobber pre tape lad you left the size sticker on the front of your Nike top lol
As a Yorkshire man you should know its going straight back to JD after the podcast for a full refund 😂
@@Jackm9323 thats a fair shout lol
India does not allow players that plays outside of India to play for their national side, or it’s something like that, it maybe if someone holds duel nationality? But the amount of people that could have played for India that couldn’t is quite staggering

If Big Meeks pulled up in a Range, i would call shotgun!
Big Meeks capping about having Indian mates 😂
Micah should calm and his fake laugh. Geez!!
Micah's story about the books is very relatable!

Micha you should be in VAR...
What I’d give to have Micah growl at me aggressively
Behave yourself 😂
Quite a poor review on the points that is touched.
BLACK BOOTY 😂😂😂😂😂 oh myyyy god I just burst out laughing on the train by myself
Hmm Micah...you should try watching the No Tippy Tappy Football pod with Hughes just released where he said Khaldoon had a few attempts trying to sack him
ten Hag needed to call out Sancho. He has a terrible attitude. EtH's problem is getting rid of enough players quickly.
gary... i have a question for you. did you ever get into any handbags/scuffles with anybody on the pitch? as you never once got booked and have always come across as a super nice guy, i would imagine it was unlikely! but i would love to know... any experiences?
Micah, remember Harpal Singh at Leeds, early 2000's, I hoped he would have been a breakthrough.
Don't you wash your clothes after you've bought them?
Nah
@@r3lentl3sGaming1 mingin
We did win 4 3 I was at game and sky sports
Question for you guys. So we have Gary & Alan both in EA FC 24 (FIFA) as icons... My question is will we be seeing a Micah Richards Icon/Hero at some point? 😅

Do you prefer doing punditry work with attackers or defenders? Also do you still keep in contact with Alan Hansan?
How do I get to ask a question boys ?
India has a similar competition in cricket i.e. (Indian premier league) which offers a great platform to build sports as a career...Other sports have suffered investment deficit.
Better waiting for all 3 of you for the question episode, some questions only one of you has had the experience
Gary l am the United States and I enjoy your podcast and opinion discussion on the game we all enjoy and your other 2 co-host keep it up and going 😊
Micah is amazing XLXLXLXLXLXLXLXLXL

Hello everyone, hope your good!
Im doing a work for uni about the impact of social media on sports so my question to you guys is:
How did you guys started this online carrer and what are some pros and cons of social media to clubs,players and even ex-players like yourselfs?
Funny how footballers have such a hard life yet any other walk of life.. if the staff dont perform managers dont take the flak
When a manager gets sacked, Big Meeks gets to keep his position on the playing staff for a bit longer 😂
‘Wonning’ only MIcha could get away with that 😂😂😂
Sparky Huges was an electrician in his early days 😂 Harry have a word !
everytime India get a corner they open corner shop 😂😂😂😅😅😅😅😅
Loving the podcast guys keep up the great work I have a question for you.Who is the most underrated player you played with in your career.
Micha could hands down be a vocalist for a metal band with those growls 😅
Micah needs to see England Team on Wogan singing “All The Way” 😂
I was looking at that sticker for 40 minutes 😂
Loving the added quantity, missing the episodes with all three of you
The look & growl make me cry laughing 😅 foooking love it 😀
Do you plan on returning that jumper mica 😂😂
I used to love the theme music to the series Black Booty 😂
Love the chemistry between you guys.
Big Meeks is size XL!!! Definitely big Meeks
Tell Alan that not turning up is worse than being late 😂
I swear every episode has one of the three absent 😮
